Current limiter on a battery charger - Electronic Circuits Projects Diagrams Free

Hi guys, I have a battery charger (manual multi stage) that I can dial up 16vdc on a 12 volt battery. Obviously the current runs from 15 ~ 25 amps depending on the state of charge. I wish to use the charger at 15 ~ 16 vdc but a max current of 4 amps for equalising purposes. What can I add to the circuit to limit the current. Thanks.

you can use a curreny limiting circuit using current limiting transistor
